I am absolutely not a fan of this place. My dad's girlfriend threw my dad a surprise party here last night. I drove my dad's friend(We live about an hour and a half away, so neither of us had ever been there.) and when we got there we stood at the door and were completely ignored(We were waiting to get someone's attention to find out if there were special tables reserved or something). After a few minutes I figured they must not mind of people seat themselves and that it would be faster if we sat down. So we sit, finally a waitress comes over and we explained we were there for the surprise party and asked if we were supposed to be in the back room. She said she knew there was a party back there but didn't know who had organised it or who it was for. Didn't offer to find out. Since she was no help we went back there and there was a menu at each seat saying it was for my dad's birthday, so we relocated. The place was pretty busy and shortly after we relocated they started showing other people to the back room as well. Which was cool, there were only 4 tables that were clearly reserved for our party. As they started filling up a waitress came back and rather rudely informed us that she was going to have to start seating people at our reserved tables because she couldn't "just make people stand". Like it's somehow our fault that, even having prior notice that there would be a large gathering at their establishment, they failed to make proper arrangements for seating. By the end of the night our 4 reserved tables had turned into 2. We were all pretty much packed into the two tables and thankfully an entire family had been unable to show because of an emergency or we would've never fit. On top of the unhelpful waitresses, rude waitresses and extremely overcrowded seating they took more than an hour and a half after we'd ordered our food to actually get it to us. And the food wasn't even that good. I had a grilled chicken, it was honestly kind of watery and gross. The fries that came with it were your standard crinkle cut frozen fries that come unseasoned from basically any generic food store. The buttered bread was a little stale. In no way was it worth waiting a freaking hour and a half for. I don't know what my dad's girlfriend paid for the whole thing, but whatever she paid it was way too much. The only thing that saved the evening was that we had good company with us and that she had made her own desserts and brought them for everyone. Considering we had a large group of people and that most of them had never been there you'd think some tiny effort would've been made to get us to want to come back. Frankly, you couldn't pay me to go back there.

The BEST fried chicken you will find anywhere. Typically have to wait a while to be served but that's why they have plenty of cold beer.

Worlds Best Fried Chicken... you have to try if you are even close to the area.

Smallest town in the area but still has the best food. If your ever around its a must to check out. A little on the expensive side but def worth it. Give it a shot.

First went there in 1974. The BEST fried chicken & cold beer in Iowa. Still great after 35 yrs. Recipe is a secret. Order 1/4 or 1/2 white meat. You get fries, slaw & bread.
